I am active in exposing the government and media propaganda and publish counter narratives based on facts and scientific research. We don't need politics or religion, just ourselves - take your personal responsibility and RESIST DEFY AND DO NOT COMPLY

Revenge in the Wings

Stalking the outer reaches
The dark stranger approaches
As the knife is plunged
The girl is raped
Or the old man is robbed
A cloak is thrown into the wind.

Create the circus build the frame
The dark stranger creates the game
“Find the likely party in this
For the day will judge for justice”
The spittle on the lips fries the veins
The guilty are death’s servants.

No hold will stay the axeman’s hand
The dark stranger left a last command
The moral audience is lively tonight,.
As death is the main attraction alright.

Rain

Golden
Drops
Of rain
Forever going down
Together they will try

To wet the thoughts again.

Rain
Soaking through my shirt
Caring with a whisker or warmth
The mighty clouds unfold
The yet heaviest rains to fall
Staining pavements
Shifting the dirt
Making mud out of dust.

In torrents of road rivers
Sweeping away the slithers
Of light
Creating
An artificial night.

Prison At Christmas

Prison cells
Full of moving heaving bodies
Straps on ankles chains on hands
Festive season greetings
To solitary souls
Grappling in the blank darkness.

Prison smells
Fill the head the mind the body
Memories scratched into the years
Say Merry Christmas
To those tortured
Bruised and mutilated prisoner.

Prison hells
Fill me with revulsion
Cruelty beyond imagining or reason
My personal greeting
To those imprisoned
Is to the guards and officers.

Prison cells
Resounding to cries and shouts
Of those who want to get out
No more Christmases
In a living HMP hell
Only pity guilt and resignation.

Prison bells
Remind us all of the discomforts there
Bare bed bare walls bare faces bare
My Christmas message
Treat them with dignity
Leave off your Middles Ages cruelty.

Prey

Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), in flight in mountain habitat
Spread wings hanging in thermal whirls
The lucky eagle glides towards its prey
I sneak another purposeful look
As I reach for a handful of mountain spray
Clutching their stems I sniffed a nose of colour
The scented flowers raised my expectant ardour
Like magic eagle wings that glide together
Passion was sliding always towards the inner
Most parts; where secrets are never too far away.

Play For Me Misty

In the depths of a morning mist
A creeping fog of uncertainty exists,
As the day lurches to a new beginning
Stars wave goodbye until next evening
Birds are pushing out the song of songs
Knowing, only, the world in its wrong
Can do wonders to make you feel strong
“Play for me the misty song of life”
You can hear the church bells ring
You nearer to important remembering
Its your genetic expanding history
Clicks on your centuries old memory
Trees scrape the sky, the leaves are singing.

Panic

I’m in a panic but I don’t know what it’s about
Sinking deeper into stress I only want to shout
But why bother there is no one who wants to hear,
The panic at times is more than I can really bear.
I cling to the side walls as I descend into a well
My fingernails all torn my hands begin to swell
I listen to the panic closely but that is no use at all
For it goes on without me being able to stall.
Blind panic scoring across my arms as blood oozes
The cuts I can’t feel I only hear the dull excuses.

When did the panics start asks the counsellor
How the heck do I know they did just show
it’s no use talking this thing out to anyone
They have their own panic for someone
They love, but they keep the lid on tightly
To avoid the panic rising up in intensity.
Is panic born of not knowing who I am,
It would make sense if I was able to cram
More minutes into each hour everyday,
This panic is here solidly it won’t go away.

Opening the Door

When opening the door to reality, the stars seem to shine brighter
And the weight of the world’s worries became lighter
For the open door looks outwards and inwards
To a place where time stands still
To a moment where movement is all but nil.

Opening the door to let the sun-reality stream into the mind
Isn’t an excursion into a new religion, you’ll find,
Hymns aren’t necessary nor are prayers
For the opening door ignores the worshipping crowds
For the reality, when the thoughts fly easily are allowed.

When opening the door we can hold hands with the past
Speak to our relatives who passed through this doorway
For the opening door leads us on eventually to explore
Our inner spaces as intrepid explorers discover the new world
Our inner silences can drown out the illusion we know only too well.

Opening the door bestows a responsibility on all who gaze beyond
For the reality is there to be explained, to be, at last, known
Ignore the scenes what is behind the opening door
You will live as a lizard scratching the bare floor
With only a boulder to rely on, for comfort and love.

I open the door on to the reality which wants us to know
We can tune in, if we want to, if we can only become slow
Expanding awareness a thousand fold
Gazing as the door opens still wider, I see the gold
That lies hidden in the hearts and minds of everyone’s soul.

Behind the opening door cosmic awareness
Becomes like a gigantic puzzle
As each piece connects with a larger piece
That connects with the whole that lives inside us all.

Violet indigo blue green yellow orange and red
Streams the colours as they shine in my head
A spectrum of truth
That shines upon the path
Leading through the opening door
Leading on to where the love is more.
Real than each dawning day
More real than anyone could ever say.

You may find your pot of gold
In the rainbow heart
You feel as you become a part
Of the universe that is you and within you
That love is you and you are love
Not at any time will you despair
Having opened the door with such care.

Once the door becomes a glittering show of reality
It will fade away into infinity
Your heart will join with your head
As you wave to all the people who are dead,
Listen to their laments and advice
The door stays open – so should your mind.

On A Precipice

I feel like I’ve ascended a tall stairway
I have almost neared the end…

Having found the top
A dark wooden trap door made me stop.
With little hesitation
A mighty tug and push
It opened – light in volumes poured in.

I closed the door rapidly
For the light was escaping.

Reaching down again and closing my eyes
I pushed open the trap door, it was prised
A blue sky fell in along with song
The darkness was passing
For light is the final prize.

Keeping out of the hole in the ground
I could see for miles around
The world was overwhelmed with sound.

A scene whose backdrop became centre stage
Animals with purpose, trees with great age
When participating with the human race.

Having escaped the gaping hole
I climbed to a high precipice,
I perched precariously upon a ledge
Not knowing whether to go up or down
… or to live close to the edge.


Nuts In May

For we are nuts in May
What more can I say?
For it has all been said before
It isn’t some unwritten law
But why should I bore
All those whose poetry
Repeats the god-like words
Of all the poets that have gone before
And after

What laughter
What joy does the scribbling pen bring
Makes my heart leap – makes me want to sing
What sorrow
And deep depressing brow I could bring
But such is life
The unending strife
I have a paint brush in my hand
I mean to colour the dreary old land
Banish the darkness
From whence it came
I shall shove the dankness
Back into its cave.

I’ll leave the audience to rave
Over the bloodied spoils of war
You can lift the charred bodies
From the floor
In front of the electric chair
You can explain to the wives
Why their soldier husband can’t be here
You can listen to the aborted
If only you would dare
I’ll write rhythms and songs
For I don’t belong
Ina world where
Everyone is running scared.
